Runs lovely in my Husqvarna electric saw. Seems to sit better in the bar slots maybe? Easy to sharpen with consistent temper on the teeth.
Great chains for carving bars, but if using for R7 tip bars, the heel needs to be ground off the cutter as per Simon’s video.
Converted my MS066 from sprocket to rim drive on the advice of Chainsaw bars, to match with my Panther full skip lo pro chain (also excellent). Chain runs smoother. Swapping to rim drive was very easy.
I purchased both Panther and Stihl chain at same time, I have ran both chains until the point of each chain showing signs of dulling and resharpened both, on an ECHO CS-2511WES 1/4 Drive Sprocket saw (purchased from chainsaw bars.co.uk also.In my opinion and preference would defo lean towards the Panther chain, (Sorry Stihl),
I found the Panther didn’t dull as quick as the Stihl chain, although the Stihl chain seemed to take less with the file to sharpen than Panther, But still would lean towards Panther chain, again only my personal preference, Both chains are quality at the end of the day, Goes without saying the Customer service from Chainsawbars is second to none, always time to advise and explain any queries you might have with fast shipping to your door, defo my goto for carving supplies

[KIT]16″[40cm] Panther Mini Conversion Kit [Bar+Chains+Sprocket] Stihl MS201, MS201T 1/4 .043 80 drive links
I use these guys for all my carving/sanding supplies and they won’t be faulted, these are great little sandpaper refills, easy to fit, and service is outstanding with fast delivery and I live in Northern Ireland (uk), would highly recommend using these guys
My last Tsumara bar lasted over 4 years before the tip started to wear, glad I replaced it as my 462 is now running better than ever. These are the best bars I’ve tried and I now use them on all my ground saws. Always great service from chainsawbarsbdirect. Thanks guys
Fast shipping!
Great bar, no complaints at all and the Stihl chain included is brilliant, as has been before on a smaller GB Lo Pro bar. The panther chains however arnt great, snapped on second cut even after re-tensioning it for 15 mins before starting the first cut. Only reason not 5 stars is because of the panther chain
I purchased these to use with a Granberg Precision Sharpener to sharpen a 1/4 inch Stihl micro chain. Though nominally 1/8 inch, the sharpener bit is slightly oversize (3.47mm) when calipered and will not fit the new chain. So I’m sharpening with a 1/8 round file at the moment. No doubt, once the chain has been hand sharpened, and I’ve used the diamond burr on larger chains, the fit will be better.
Customer service is helping quickly
Product, service and delivery:
ALL OK
I’d buy again, no doubt
I’d recommend to buy from this shop
As always, fast delivery, excellent communication when you need advice and good prices. Easy to use and just tick all the boxes from support to delivery. Thanks again
Generally a handy device for most chains, however the microchain on my Stihl MS160 seems to test the limits of the Granberg I tried to get the right sized stone, but eventually went back to manual filing with a 3.2 mm file. On my larger chains the Granberg results are good and consistent, even with tungsten carbide chains (diamond burr tube).
Thats the perfect bar for my ms 461 and combine with the skip tooth chain, its just smooth and powerfull.
